Why Purdue and Nebraska Might Just Shatter Expectations Against the Total Tonight
Purdue as a program has done remarkably well over the past few seasons. Sure, they had Zach Edey for a couple of years, but they also have revamped their program after he moved on and still are winning games at a high clip. The team is currently ranked 13th in the nation, is 19-4 overall, and 9-3 in Big Ten play. I think this is a team most will want to avoid, or at least won’t look forward to playing in the NCAA Tournament, either. They did just have their worst stretch of the season, by far, and are coming out of it. They lost three straight at UCLA, at home against Illinois, and at Indiana. They then beat Maryland by a ton, and squeaked out a win over Oregon. Their only other loss on the schedule was earlier in the year against Iowa State. The three losses in a row hurt, obviously, but they weren’t blow out losses, all of them were by six points or fewer. And, unfortunately, the schedule won’t be getting any easier from here either with Michigan and Michigan State on the horizon.Â
